House Majority Whip Steve Scalise said “it’s a little bit early” to start talking about restricting bump stocks like the one the Las Vegas madman used to speed up his weapon’s rate of fire as he carried out the worst mass shooting in US history.

“There are people that want to rush to judgment. They’ve got a bill written already. I do think it’s a little bit early for people to say they know what to do to fix this problem,” he said.

Scalise, a rabid guns rights supporter who was shot at a GOP baseball practice over the summer, mocked gun control advocates who think they are experts on the topic.

“To think that we’re now all experts and know how to write some, you know, panacea law, it’s fallacy. Let’s focus on the facts. Let’s get the facts and let’s go focus on some of the problems,” the Louisiana rep said.
